Families looking for a fresh, low-stress outdoor activity can now add a charming new experience to their list, with the launch of Alpaca Walks at Historic Rivermill.
Set on beautiful riverside farmland, the new 30-minute Alpaca Walk offers kids (and grown-ups) the chance to slow down, head outdoors and connect with one of nature’s most endearing animals. It’s a gentle, experience designed with families in mind — perfect for busy parents looking for something fun, calm, and a little bit different.
Each walk begins with a friendly staff-led introduction, where families learn about alpaca behaviour and how to safely lead their woolly companion. From there, it’s time to set off on a relaxed, self-paced stroll through the scenic farm grounds, soaking up river views while bonding with your alpaca along the way. There’s no rushing and no pressure — just fresh air, open space and plenty of photo-worthy moments.
Children aged five and over can take the lead (with adult supervision), while younger siblings are welcome to walk alongside for free, making it an easy option for families with mixed ages. It’s an experience that balances learning with fun, offering kids a chance to build confidence around animals while enjoying the great outdoors.
